Cookie Policy
Like many companies, we use browser cookies on this website. Browser cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer's hard drive when you visit certain websites. We use browser cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited us before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Browser cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular website. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new browser cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new browser cookie, and how to disable existing browser cookies. Remember though, without browser cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our website features.
For each visitor to a BIS Site, BIS's web server automatically recognizes and
stores information, such as the visitor's IP address/domain name combination and
any referring websites. We use this information to understand visitor traffic
patterns through our websites for purposes such as enhancing their usability.
Your computer provides this information automatically each time you log on,
unless you have activated blocking technology available in some browsers.
Some newer browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" features. Most of these
features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the web sites you visit
indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Those sites (or the third party
content on those sites) may continue to engage in activities you might view as
tracking even though you have expressed this preference, depending on the sites'
privacy practices. If your browser or similar mechanism gives our Site a "do not
track" signal, the Site may not honor it because of the tracking described in
this section ("Approved Sharing"). If your settings and our Site are nuanced
enough to allow the Approved Sharing but also preclude tracking for behavioral
advertising by third parties, the Site will make commercially reasonable
attempts to honor your settings. However, BIS provides no warrants or guaranties
about the effects of any opt-out choice that you make because of things such as
this: (a) such nuanced treatment isn't necessarily available or effective for
any or all browsers, mechanisms or technologies and our attempts might or might
not be effective to preclude tracking at all or over any particular period of
time; (b) not all third parties will necessarily honor our attempts; (c) BIS
does not control third parties or technologies (even if we have a contract), and
(d) technologies used by you and third parties will change from time to time and
our attempts might or might not be effective for each technology.
